"I've previously worked with Dan, with him as my tutor. He really is an amazing instructor, he breaks down the problem and helps reconstruct the equation o

r the problem back to see where the trouble, for me it was math. He really has helped me out a lot, and has done a great jib helping me understand word problems a lot better! If you need a good tutor, I highly recommend that you choose Danschnieder! To me, he is one of the best!"

"Larry is an incredible teacher. I was never bored at any lessons, Larry had me thinking hard every lesson, challenging the way I looked at history. I feel

like not only did I learned what happened in history but I came out of it looking through a different paradigm.

I recommend him to everyone."

Review by Bianca

"The only thing worse than the college application process is the transfer application process. Red Pen Wench not only edited my essays to help me present

myself in the most polished and grammatically correct way, she guided me through the entire admissions process. She was there to listen to any concern or doubt I experienced and helped me nail down exactly what it was about myself that made me an asset to one of the world's top universities. Without Red Pen Wench, I would've submitted very average admissions essays. I don't even know if I would've submitted a transfer application to my dream school if it wasn't for her tireless support and guidance. As an admitted transfer student to Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, I know wholeheartedly that my letter of acceptance came as a direct result of Jillian Kinsey's unparalleled editing and coaching genius."
